TRUE VINTAGE SUIT OR 2 PC. DRESS FROM THE ’40’S – ’50’S

TRUE VINTAGE SUIT OR 2 PC. DRESS FROM THE '40'S - '50'S

What a cute little 3-season outfit with a fantastic hourglass shape. I always love these!

It’s a late ’40’s to early ’50’s style, with little shoulder pads and beautiful tailoring. Although it is unlined and not haute couture, it’s very nicely done and has those wonderful design details that even continue on the back of the jacket.

The ever-popular pencil skirt goes with almost anything. This could be worn as a dress, as separate pieces or as a suit. I see it with a little white blouse or shell underneath, jacket open.

At a time when women were finding their fashion feet again and, actually, going wild with style! Clothing from this era is beautiful and fun to find. Notice that the tags are still on this one – I love surprise discoveries like this. Keep sleuthing because, you just never know . . . . . . . . . . .
ALSO, I’LL BE TRAVELING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS SO THE POSTS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT WONKY BUT, NO WORRIES, THE INVESTIGATION GOES ON AND I WILL REPORT REGULARLY.

LOVELY COTTON SHIRT-WAIST FROM THE 1950’S – EARLY 1960’S IN FALL COLORS

LOVELY COTTON SHIRT-WAIST FROM THE 1950'S – EARLY 1960'S IN FALL COLORS.

A CUTE COTTON SKIRT FROM THE 1950’S, IN A “PRIMITIVE” PRINT

Prints like this were very popular at one time during the ’50’s. Ethnic and “primitive” patterns were seen in blouses and skirts, especially.

The skirt is very simply made, with a 3-button closure on the left side. The flouncy tiers are very cute. There’s no label, so it might have been made at home.

With a peasant blouse or some other casual style, probably also of cotton, and espadrilles or sandals, you’d be right back in the day . . . . . ..
